In-Person Meeting Information
This page and others will provide a brief overview of what to expect as a committee member at an In-Person Meeting. You may refer to the Travel Information for Visitors to ARRT for details about booking your travel.
NOTE: If your meeting is scheduled as In-Person, there is NOT an option to participate virtually at this time.
Committee Schedule for In-Person Meetings (Typically Two Days)
Day One:
After having breakfast at your hotel, the committee assembles each morning in the hotel lobby at 7:50 a.m. (CT) for transportation to ARRT.
Committee members typically spend the day working with ARRT staff on their committee assignments. If you are on the exam committee or standard setting committee, you may be reviewing an item pool. An item pool is a subset of items from the item bank (the large collection of questions ARRT keeps on file). During a pool review, committee members read and comment on potential exam items.
If you are on a practice analysis committee, you may be reviewing ARRT documents for revision.
We'll provide lunch for you on site at ARRT. You can use that time to socialize with fellow committee members and staff, or to catch up on missed calls or emails.
ARRT typically hosts a committee dinner at a local restaurant on the evening of the first day. This event offers a wonderful opportunity for collegial interaction on a more personal level. While we encourage committee members to focus on building professional relationships, we kindly request that you consider the nature of the dinner before deciding to bring a guest. This helps ensure that the dinner remains a productive and professional environment for all attendees. Please note that guest expenses will not be covered by ARRT.
Day Two:
We will repeat many of the first day’s activities on the second day as we complete the activities that were started. If needed, we will take some time to schedule the next meeting and discuss next steps for your committee.
Our travel agent will book returning flights on Day Two scheduled to depart after 6 p.m. (CT). We will arrange for a shuttle to take you to the airport. Those leaving on Day Two will bring their luggage to ARRT from the hotel, and it will be stored in a secure location through the day.
